I am so amused by the press conference for 7th Level Civil Servant that I simply had to post about it despite having barely any interest for this drama. It’s been too long since I’ve seen such level of fashion epic fail from an entire drama cast at its press conference. I remember the ladies of Dream High 2 collectively missing hemlines and bodices at their press conference but back then I just thought they looked cheap. Here we have stars of both genders showcasing a genuine lack of understanding on dressing for an occasion and dressing to make a positive impression. I may not be crushing on Joo Won like a lot of drama fandom but I find him really hardworking and am happy to hear of his drama successes. Despite the howls from his fandom when he was paired up with 10-year older Choi Kang Hee, I liked her well enough in Protect the Boss to be open to this potential pairing. Seeing her identical-to-Joo Won short crop for the drama which makes it look like Joo Won is escorting his aunt to the prom, things are not looking up on the romance front. It hurts that Joo Won is dressed in a “what the hell is he wearing” outfit, Choi Kang Hee hurts my eyes, Chansung thinks he’s an accountant, Kim Min Seo is rocking too much with the all red and the shoulder pads and the black nails, Kim So Hyun is looking like Morticia’s younger sister, and Jang Young Nam borrowed a dress from her teen daughter to wear. I’m now in favor of instituting a rule – all production companies have to own a stash of little black dresses and nicely tailored black suits and if their stars show up looking like a trainwreck for a press conference, they will be re-dressed before unleashing them on the world. Check out the hilarity below as well as a trailer to see if you want to watch this drama, which premieres this Wednesday on MBC.
Even Joo Won’s co-stars can’t figure out the hell he is wearing as a jacket. Did he lose his limbs? Wanted to wear a cloak but was afraid it would emasculate him so went with a cloket instead (cloak-jacket hybrid)? Was too lazy to put his hands through the arms of his jacket? It was too hot inside so he had to air out his underarms? I DO NOT GET. I wish his hyung Uhm Tae Woong would have taken him aside and helped out a dongsaeng in need of serious fashion advice. I hope this drama is good so this press conference becomes a distant memory soon.

Damn, she looks rough.
All I see is huge feet on the girl in black. I agree, the rest of the cast need to fire their stylists! I hate bowl cut hairstyles on girls! I enjoyed Protect the Boss but I dunno about this one..
Honestly, I actually like CKH's outfit and Joo Won's too. As an ensemble with the rest though, I do agree they're OMG-everywhere. But anyhow, still keeping my hopes up about this show to deliver! I'll be watching, ha
I don't like any of the outfits...:( And can't they talk to each other before, in order to match their clothes? Cause the mix of colors is visually offensive.
The teaser is already blocked? Wow.
You are so right. Cannot help compare with the leads in the film where the main leads were so stylish and matched so well ( actually here too they are matched identically bad... JW better). For me the ladies were a BiG failure in fashion sense. .......From their dresses colour mix, cut and hairstyles. only liked KMS hairstyle. If the purpose of the press conference is to attract viewers.......this one is out.
Choi kang hee should seriously think about changing her hairstyle....by the way, i'm interested in watching this show :)
Lol, you made my day :D
Ok, I like the accountant suit.
I am very excited about seeing this drama. Remember what I said in my post about the horrible fashion choices during the Flower Boy Next Door press conference (I seem to recall offering to go to Wal-mart and buy Kim Ji Hoon socks--an offer politely declined by Denali): perhaps they purposefully dress badly to reduce our excitement. When you don't have any expectations, there is less chance for disappontment.
Choi kang hee is an eye sore. and that hair is so fugly.
Lol she's what you consider an eyesore? aka she doesn't look like the typical doll-like Korean actress clone...
How popular is the bowl-like hair style for koreans? Or is it just super popular in the drama world? Seems like there's always a slew of actresses with this kind of hair year after year. I just can't understand why they'd WANT this horrendous hair cut that's quite unbecoming to most girls. Or maybe they see something different?
I really like Joo-won as an actor and was looking forward to this drama but from what I've seen of this drama so far, my interest is really waning. And, this really isn't a big deal but his co-star's hair is just really distracting; it actually bothers me. :p
